Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to bedding, and particularly to bedding that also serves as health equipment.

[Prior Art and its Problems] Softness and elasticity have traditionally been pursued in bedding, and there has been a tendency for emphasis to be placed on cushioning properties.

By the way, in recent years, as a result of research on sleeping positions, it has been found that a supine position as close to a straight line as possible allows for a more restful sleep and is better for one's health.

However, with the above-mentioned conventional bedclothes with good cushioning properties, there are problems in that the waist and other parts of the body sink, leading to congestion in the bent parts of the body, resulting in poor blood circulation and muscle stiffness.

On the other hand, it is known that applying pressure to congested areas of the body is good for health, such as improving blood circulation and curing stiffness.

This idea was devised in view of the above circumstances, and includes a pillow body attached to the upper surface of the batting to prevent the lower back from sinking and bending while sleeping, and to press the lumbar vertebrae to improve blood circulation. Provide bedding that is useful for health, such as improving the health of the body, and is structured so that when the pillow body is filled with air, the pillow body expands easily and the height of the pillow body can be increased easily. It provides bedding.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The bedding according to this invention accommodates a filling made of hard cotton in a side fabric made of a lower fabric and an elastic upper fabric, and a A bedding body is formed by quilting with zigzag stitches, and a pillow body made of a hollow flexible structure that can be expanded by air is placed between the batting and the upper fabric of the bedding body. The longitudinal direction coincides with the width direction of the bedding main body, and it is attached between the seams of the quilting, and the pillow body is equipped with an air pump that fills the inside of the pillow body with air.

[Function] When you lie down on the bedding main body, your lower back, etc. will come into contact with the pillow body and will be pressed by your own weight. This produces an acupressure effect that improves blood circulation, relieves stiffness, and helps you sleep soundly. The bedding body, which uses a filling made of hard cotton, prevents the body from sinking unnecessarily and makes the supine posture of the body straight.

Adjust the amount of air filled into the pillow body to achieve the desired firmness and height. In this case, since the upper fabric and the zigzag quilting have elasticity, they expand and contract as the pillow body expands and contracts. Therefore, it is easy to increase the height of the pillow body by enlarging it, and even when the pillow body is shrunk to a small size, no ugly sagging or wrinkles remain on the upper surface of the bedding body.
Due to the quilted seams, the pillow body will not move freely during sleep. If the pillow body is not filled with air, it can be used as a regular bedding.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the bedding according to this invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 in the figure is the bedding main body. The bedding main body 1 includes upper and lower side fabrics 2,
A batting 5 is housed in a side fabric 4 consisting of 3, and the upper and lower side fabrics 2, 3 and the batting 5 are further quilted 6 by zigzag stitching.

The upper fabric 2 is made of knit fabric and has elasticity.

The batting 5 is made of wool or the like that has been subjected to a needle punching process, and is made of so-called hard cotton that has a hard cushioning property.

Further, the quilting 6 is stitched on the peripheral edge of the bedding main body 1 by zigzag stitching, and inside the quilting 6 on the peripheral edge, it is stitched at predetermined intervals in the width direction.

A pillow body 7 is attached in the vicinity of the longitudinal center of the upper surface of the batting 5, that is, in the area where the lower back hits when lying on the bedding main body 1, and is arranged in the width direction. The pillow body 7 is arranged so as to be sandwiched between the two seam lines of the quilting 6.

The pillow body 7 is formed in the shape of a hollow bag made of synthetic rubber, which is a flexible structure, and has a rectangular shape in plan view and a substantially flat elliptical shape in cross section.

Further, a manual air pump 8 for filling air into the pillow body 7 is provided at one end of the pillow body 7 via a tube 9 made of synthetic rubber.

The air pump 8 is exposed outside the side edge of the bedding main body 1, so that air can be filled with the air pump 8 while lying on the bedding.

According to the bedding of the above embodiment, when one lies on the bedding, the pillow body 7 is placed at a position that corresponds to the lower back, so the pillow body 7 presses against the lower back while lying on the back, improving blood circulation. It can also be used to correct the lumbar spine.

Furthermore, by adjusting the amount of air filled into the pillow body 7, the desired firmness and height can be selected, and since the filling 5 is made of hard cotton, the lumbar region etc. will not sink. The supine position becomes almost straight, which is the ideal sleeping position, which is good for your health. In this case, since the upper fabric 2 on the side to which the pillow body 7 is attached is made of stretchable knit fabric, the pillow body 7 easily expands, and even when the air in the pillow body 7 is removed, The upper fabric 2 is easily restored due to its elasticity, and no sagging remains, making it comfortable to sleep on.

Moreover, since the pillow body 7 is sandwiched between the two seams of the quilting 6, the pillow body 7 does not move due to turning over, etc., and the two seams of the quilting 6 that sandwich the pillow body 7 are formed by zigzag stitching, and the seam lines have elasticity and elasticity, making it easier to further inflate the pillow body 7.

In the above embodiment, knitted fabric was used only for the upper fabric 2, but it may be used for the lower fabric 3, and it is not limited to knitted fabric, but any stretchable fabric may be used.

Further, the significance of the upper and lower parts of the upper and lower fabrics is relative and is not limited to its literal meaning.

In addition, although all the quilting 6 is formed using zigzag stitches, only the two seam lines sandwiching the pillow body 7 may be formed using zigzag stitches.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the pillow body 7 may be fitted into a fitting recess 10 formed in the batting 5. With this configuration, movement of the pillow body 7 due to turning over and the like can be more reliably prevented.

Further, the pipe 9 can be removably connected to the pillow body 7 and the air pump 8 can be removed so that the air pump 8 does not get in the way when using this bedding. Furthermore, the tube 9 may be fixed along the side edge of the bedding body 1 with a string or the like.

Further, the location and number of the pillow bodies 7 are not limited to those in the embodiment, but may be arranged at locations where the shoulders and legs abut, as shown in FIG. As shown, a pillow insertion opening 12 that can be opened and closed by a fastener 11 may be provided in the upper fabric 2 along the seam line of the quilting 6. With this configuration, the pillow body 7 can be conveniently placed at a desired position.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, an insertion hole 13 may be provided inside the batting 5, and the pillow body 7 may be placed in the insertion hole 13. With this configuration, the bulging portion of the bedding main body 1 becomes gentle, making it more comfortable to sleep on.

Furthermore, the type of filling 5 is not limited to wool and cotton, but may also be synthetic cotton or cotton cotton.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, the bedding according to this invention has a pillow body that is inflatable with air attached to the upper surface of the batting, which improves blood circulation in the body part that comes into contact with the pillow body. By adjusting the amount of air filled into the pillow body and adjusting the height of the pillow body, the ideal sleeping position can be adjusted.

In addition, the upper fabric covering the pillow body is made of stretchable fabric, the pillow body is sandwiched between the quilting seam lines, and these two quilting seam lines are formed by zigzag stitching. Since it has stretchability and elasticity, the pillow body can be easily expanded, and the pillow body can be prevented from moving, and the sewing threads at the seam line will not break. In addition, the filling is made of hard cotton and the entire mattress is quilted, making it harder than regular mattresses, so the lower back area does not sink unnecessarily. In this case, the entire body becomes nearly linear, resulting in an ideal sleeping position, and the effect of acupressure on the pillow body is further enhanced.
